Static Between Us by Homemade Shine
Static Between Us
Verse 1
Blue light glowing at a quarter past two
Phone on the table, face down like you
Three dots vanish, then nothing at all
Silence screaming louder than a missed call
Your name still lives in my favorites list
But every buzz tells me what I missed
Pre-Chorus
We used to talk ‘til the sun came up
Now every word feels digital dust
Chorus
There’s static between us, breaking the line
Say “I’m fine” but we’re out of time
Read receipts saying more than lies
You saw my heart but you passed it by
We’re typing circles, never saying much
Losing signal when it matters most
Yeah, we’re still here, but barely in touch
With all this static between us
(Between us)
Verse 2
Your voicemail’s full, guess that says enough
I replay your laugh when the nights get rough
Screenshots of moments we used to be
Smiling ghosts staring back at me
You reply with a “k” like a closing door
One letter killing what we built before
Pre-Chorus
We scroll past love like it’s just a phase
Swipe right through our better days
Chorus
There’s static between us, breaking the line
Say “I’m fine” but we’re out of time
Read receipts saying more than lies
You saw my heart but you passed it by
We’re typing circles, never saying much
Losing signal when it matters most
Yeah, we’re still here, but barely in touch
With all this static between us
(Between us)
Bridge
If I showed up instead of texting late
Would it change us or seal our fate?
We built a wall out of silence and pride
Watched “forever” slowly buffer and die
(Buffer and die)
Breakdown
One more buzz… then nothing again
Love shouldn’t feel like a dead-end send
Final Chorus
There’s static between us, can’t tune it out
Every missed call is a scream we don’t shout
Same old words in a brand-new thread
Still alive, but the spark feels dead
If this is love in a digital age
Disconnected on the same damn page
Yeah, we’re fading slow, no crash, no fuss
Just static between us
(Between us)
Outro
I leave my phone on, just in case you try
But the screen stays dark like your goodbye
(Static… between us)
